Transferring a Domain Away from 4UHosting

You can transfer a domain away from 4UHosting if you want another provider to manage the renewal.

UK Domain Transfers Away

For UK domains such as .co.uk, .org.uk, and .me.uk, the new provider will give you their registrar tag.

To transfer the domain away:

1. Log in to your 4UHosting customer account.
2. Open the Domains section.
3. Select the domain you want to transfer.
4. Open the domain management page.
5. Use the Release Domain option if it is available.
6. Enter the new provider’s registrar tag.
7. Submit the change.

UK domain transfers usually complete quickly once the tag has been changed.

If you cannot see the release option, open a support ticket and tell us the domain name and the new registrar tag.

Other Domain Transfers Away

For most non-UK domains, you normally need to unlock the domain and get the EPP code.

1. Log in to your 4UHosting customer account.
2. Open the Domains section.
3. Select the domain you want to transfer.
4. Unlock the domain if registrar lock is enabled.
5. Get the EPP code.
6. Give the EPP code to the new provider when you start the transfer with them.

These transfers can take several days to complete.

Before You Start the Transfer

• Check that the domain is not expired.
• Check that the registrant email address is correct.
• Ask the new provider which nameservers you should use.
• Consider changing nameservers before starting the transfer if the website or email needs to move first.

60 Day Transfer Rule

Many domains have a 60 day transfer rule.

You may not be able to transfer a domain if it has been registered, transferred, or had certain registrant changes made within the last 60 days.

If you are unsure whether this applies to your domain, open a support ticket and we will check it for you.

After the Transfer

Please let us know when the transfer has completed so we can remove the domain from your 4UHosting account.

This helps prevent unnecessary renewal reminders or invoices.
